Not all that uncommon in EURO, but I think you will fined that the kit consists of a Home HHO generator, that’s compressed, then pumped into a tank. Watch his electricity bill.

in aussie its better to just do a CNG conversation, using the Gas already piped in, just compress it at home, CNG was quite popular in NZ in the 90's don’t know about now though. I did the math’s on that a couple of months ago, it came out that my TDi 300, is running now at 13 cents a klm, down to 4 cents a klm, conversation kit tanks compressor etc as a kit was about $8000. so after 80 000Klm its brake even, to me that’s 2 years, what will diesel cost in 2 more years?

He was saying biggest problem was finding space within engine bay for the conversion equipment as he wanted to keep piping as shot as possible for the Hydrogen gas.

I will try and get some better details from him when l go back to site next week and post.

Anyone else heard of the conversion process and is it only suitable for Diesel powered vehicles
